Amigos Cataloging Class Receives ALA Library Support Staff Certification

Amigos Cataloging & Classification Class has recently received ALA’s Library Support Staff Certification. This intensive two day course is perfect for new catalogers or for those who need a refresher.

The three week online course runs Wednesday and Fridays beginning August 4 at 1:00 p.m. (CDT). It will cover MARC bibliographic, classification and categorization schemas, basic copy cataloging, and other areas essential to the cataloging department. Each participant will be ready to begin copy cataloging by demonstrating how to interpret bibliographic records and match to items in hand. Other topics covered include Integrated Library Systems (ILS) and their functionality, tools for cataloging print and online items, and interpreting Library of Congress and Dewey Decimal Call numbers to enable shelf discovery.
